The Homered Bound Pet Adoption Center in Blackwood, New Jersey is over capacity and worried the situation could get worse with after the Fourth of July due to frighten pets.

The shelter says many pets tend to run away scared during fireworks displays and end up at animal shelters

From now through Sunday, the shelter is offering $7 adoptions for dogs and cats this week so they can free up space.

Kittens are not included in the adoption special.
